You are not disagreeing with him, David. You are just talking about another scenario other than the one under discussion. He was talking about the case where root is small. This whole discussion was about how softupdates behaves in the subcase of small root partitions.
This discussion was NOT about "how softupdates behaves in the subcase of small root partitions" Imp was having problems in the face of softupdates on a full /. The problem exists *reguardless* of how big / is, the issues is % free.
If you have a 1.8Gb root partition that also includes /var and /usr, this whole discussion is irrelevant.
Why?? Because / can now not fill up? I've installed enough KDE/GNOME/teTeX/etc... ports (plus /usr/{ports,src}) that I have acutally filled it up before.
(And before I'm attacked for my organization -- if I can get it back from the CDROM and it lives in /usr, it is on the / file systems which I don't back up, as there is no use to.)
